On October 27, Kamala Harris, the US Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee, campaigned in Pennsylvania, visiting a Black barbershop and a Puerto Rican restaurant in Philadelphia. Speaking at the Church of Christian Compassion, she posed a critical question about the future of the country without mentioning her opponent by name. During a news conference, Harris expressed confidence in her campaign’s progress, stating that her "internal polling is my instinct" and that "the momentum is with us." Following her Philadelphia stops, Harris plans to visit all battleground states in the days leading up to Election Day. Her upcoming engagements include a rally in Madison, Wisconsin, featuring folk rock band Mumford & Sons, as well as a Las Vegas event with the Mexican pop band Mana. With polls showing a tight race in key states, over 38 million votes have already been cast ahead of the election.

At an October 26 rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Kamala Harris labelled Donald Trump as "increasingly unhinged," asserting he has become more unstable and confused over the last eight years.

During her speech, a protester interrupted, demanding "No more Gaza war," to which Harris replied that the Gaza conflict must end.

Recent polls show Harris leading Trump narrowly, 46% to 43%.

Beyoncé, speaking at an abortion rights rally with 30,000 attendees, framed her support as a mother’s concern for the future.

In response, Harris labels Trump a "fascist" and a danger to America. Some, like Arizona's Bryce Bedsun, view the fascist accusation as a scare tactic aimed at influencing voters.

Thousands gathered in Georgia on October 24 for a rally supporting Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, featuring performances by Bruce Springsteen and Tyler Perry, as well as remarks from former President Barack Obama.
